Katie began dancing when she was young, and later trained at the Kirov Academy of Ballet, Juilliard, and the Royal Ballet of London before dancing professionally with Peninsula Ballet Theatre.

After enduring four years sexual abuse by her ballet teacher beginning when she was 12 in secret, Katie found herself deeply unhappy and ready to quit ballet. Wanting to explore new possibilities for her life, she decided to attend UCLA where she became the youngest captain of the UCLA Dance Team and graduated with a B.A. in Sociology. Soon after, she decided to pursue a new dream and began her acting career in Los Angeles.

Katie has appeared on television shows such as Modern Family, Shrill, New Girl, The League, Hawaii Five-O, and General Hospital, and has worked alongside Alec Baldwin, Kelsey Grammer, Aidy Bryant, Jennifer Coolidge, Zooey Deschanel, Mindy Kaling, Jimmy Burrows and David Spade. She found so much healing in comedy, and developed a deep appreciation for the power that story has to connect us empathetically to one another. Although she found herself attaining her dreams, she felt chronically trapped inside a psyche that felt barbed and hostile.

Always finding herself attracted to healing, Katie became a certified yoga and meditation instructor in 2014, following in her family’s footsteps. Katie’s father is a yoga instructor, and her parents owned yoga studios while she was growing up. She later became a private instructor for Kristen Stewart, Stella Maxwell, Chloe Grace Moretz, Brie Larsen and Kiernan Shipka, as well as other celebrities and professional athletes. She found that by healing others we heal ourselves, and has found deep gratification from this work.

in 2017, Katie found herself deeply affected by her increasingly harsh and unhappy inner state. Knowing she needed to address her childhood trauma, she sought out help and began a journey of deep healing. Later that year she came forward to the police about the abuse that had happened to her as a child by her ballet teacher. After telling her story anonymously to the San Francisco Chronicle, more women came forward who had also been abused by him as young girls. After a devastating 2019 mistrial, Katie’s felt levels of despair and grief she didn’t even know were possible.

That same year, Katie also found out she was BRCA2 positive and had a prophylactic double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer from over 80% to less than 1%. She allowed a camera crew for E! to document her journey in order to shed light on the physically and emotionally complicated process for other women.

In 2021, more sexual abuse victims came forward and their abuser finally pled guilty. He is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for his crimes. Katie spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle about her experience with the criminal justice system. She later wrote for Newsweek about the flaws in the legal system that perpetuate the re-victimization of sexual assault victims, and the lack of protection for dancers in the professional and pre-professional space.

Katie’s healing journey led her to deep spiritual and psychological work where she began to transform her inner state from feeling anxious, depressed and helpless to joyful, empowered and at peace. By creating space and time for healing and self-exploration, she began change herself on the deepest level. By learning how to consciously optimize her mindset, she began to finally feel the happiness and inner freedom she had been seeking for most of her life.

She is very proud of the life she has created today, and the internal and external hurdles she has overcome.

As she began to feel her inner and outer world changing dramatically for the better, she felt called help others learn how how to utilize these same tools so that they too can learn how to optimize their mindset for happiness, fulfillment and personal success.
